Dylan Howell '24 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to become the best possible runner I can become.  If that means helping my team win a meet, such as conference, or becoming the best personal runner I can be and get amazing times in races, then that is my goal. I want to be able to say after running in college that I gave every workout, and I ran every meet the best of my capability. I am a good candidate for any team because I want to be challenged. Give me a workout and I will give it my all. I love the feeling of being pushed and the feeling of being accomplished for what I have done. One attribute about myself that makes me different from other recruits is that I can get along with anyone and I can build a strong relationship with them. One part of running that is important to have are teammates that like you back, so that you can build a strong connection with them. If someone does not have a strong connection with their teammates, it will be harder to run with them whereas if you do, you can talk to them. This will put you in a happier mood, and personally when I am in a happy mood, I tend to run better. I am different from other recruits in athletics because I give every workout my all and I understand that especially in the sport of running, if you want to see results, you have to earn it, nothing is given. And I am different academically than other recruits because I have been raised to focus on academics first, then running, because I cannot go to college to run if I do not have the grades to back me up. That is why I believe I am the best possible recruit for any college.
